Chapter 143: Caravan

The wind is up.

Dobby looked up and glanced at the gloomy and heavy clouds not far away, the howling wind blowing past his ears, carrying a bit of moisture. From a distance, it gives people a feeling that the wind and rain are coming. The middle-aged swordsman couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, he reached out, grabbed the hilt of the sword at his waist, and looked behind him. I saw that the convoy was still moving forward slowly and unswervingly, and there was no intention of stopping at all. Seeing this, Dobby frowned, then he waved his hand, and soon, a soldier trotted to his side from the side.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"The rainstorm is coming, go and ask the eldest lady if we are looking for a place to shelter from the rain."

"Okay."

Hearing Dobby's words, the warrior nodded, and immediately ran towards the black carriage behind him. Seeing this, Dobby sighed, then shook his head helplessly.

After Jenn and Patilina joined, Deli changed her mind. Originally, her plan was to take the soldiers to the place where the caravan was attacked to conduct an on-site investigation to see what was going on. However, after Jenn and Patilina joined, they changed their plans and specifically contacted the Chamber of Commerce related to the Pawood family, and transported goods disguised as a caravan towards Ernst City. Obviously, this was intended to use the caravan as bait to lure the ogres into taking the bait.

I have to admit that Deli's idea is still feasible, because the continuous invasion of ogres these days has made the caravan temporarily stop taking this road, but would rather choose a long detour or even a sea route. Except for the traveling merchants who dared to take risks, the golden trade route had become much deserted. In this case, a large caravan could easily be targeted by the savage ogres.

But Dobby is not optimistic about this. As a warrior of the skill of a swordsman, he knew much about the horror and ferocity of those beasts. He knew better than anyone what the virtues of these aristocratic private soldiers were. It's fine to suppress an armed rebellion or something, but it's hard to say if you're fighting those ferocious beasts. In this case, Miss Daily dared to make such a big bet, which is really a little uneasy.

Fortunately, Jenn and Patilina's existence still reassured Dobby, and presumably Miss Deli was also determined to use herself as bait to seduce those ogres.

Merely............... Thinking of this, Dobby looked behind him and glanced at the people who were following behind the carriage. A girl wrapped in a cloak all over her body. They joined the caravan the next day, and according to Jenn, the maidens were his men and elite warriors. Dobby, however, couldn't tell how powerful they were, because the girls were dressed in battle robes and cloaks, and they wrapped themselves so tightly that they couldn't even see their weapons. So Dobby can't judge their strength, but from the experience of being a battle-hardened swordsman, these girls have some strength. I'm afraid it's not that high. And there are only more than 70 of them in total, what role can they play? Don't scream and run away in fright, it's already a blessing from the gods.

Thinking of this, Dobby couldn't help but shake his head, not knowing why. He always felt that something wasn't right, and that wasn't a good sign.

And at this moment, Dai Li in the carriage was also uneasy.

After all, she initiated this decoy plan. If you fail, you're in big trouble. The weakness of the aristocratic family is that there will be more opposition, although his father is the patriarch of the Pawood family. In many cases, it is also based on the intentions of other people. Like Jenn's request before, if it weren't for her and Mr. Dobby's assurance that the other party did have the strength of the legendary level. Coupled with the fact that Starfall Fang really has no practical benefits, I am afraid that it is impossible for the Pawood family to agree to this request. And on the issue of ogre's harassment after that, many people were quite sarcastic about Dai Li's opinion, and even this time she came out with a hundred elite private soldiers, which can be regarded as a big gamble.

Thinking of this, Dai Li couldn't help but sigh. Looking at Lygia sitting beside her, sometimes she was actually very envious of Lygia. Although life is a little harder, at least you don't have to be like yourself, torn between the hypocrisy of the aristocracy all day long, and you are tired.

But what surprised Dellie the most was the carriage in front of her.

Jenn likes to enjoy and hates hardship. Therefore, if you can be comfortable and convenient, you will never deliberately ask for trouble, so after deciding to deal with those ogres with Deli, he took out his carriage. Not only that, but he also invited Lygia and two maids to join him by the way, even if it was a long trip to go out for a walk. As for Jenn's invitation, Lycia also gladly accepted. If it was just Jenn, maybe she would hesitate for a while, but after the Pawood family came forward, naturally there would be no worries.

In this way, in the carriage sat Jenn, Lygia and the two maids, plus Deli and Patilina, a total of six people. If you change to a normal carriage, you can't sit so many people.

But Jenn's carriage was nothing extraordinary, although it looked about the size of a normal carriage from the outside, but when you got into the carriage, you found that it was almost as spacious as a Rolls-Royce sedan. As a mid-level mage, Dai Li naturally saw that this was the effect of a space spell. That alone was enough to shock her, and the act of casting a constant space spell on a carriage could no longer be described as wealthy, it was simply incredible.

You must know that in the Klein Continent, space magic is not so easy to use. Even archmages with wealth and power usually only cast this spell in their own mage towers. The difficulty of space spells is not only that they require a lot of rare magic materials to maintain, but also that there are very few people who can use space spells on the continent. Therefore, in Deli's opinion, Jenn would actually attach a space spell to a carriage, which is as unbelievable as an SUV on Earth with a space shuttle engine.

Not only that, but Deli also has considerable doubts about Jenn's identity. The intelligence says that Jenn is a down-and-out aristocrat -- but the average down-and-out nobleman can get his hands on a carriage that etchs space magic? Deli knew very well that there was no magical group on the continent that was famous for making such carriages. This shows that the magic carriage in Jenn's hand is definitely not a commodity that is generally circulated in the market. In this way, there are only two possibilities, one is that the carriage is very likely to be a magical treasure handed down by a certain family. Another possibility is that it was privately created by some archmage who was proficient in space spells. No matter which one it is, it is absolutely impossible for it to be owned by an ordinary down-and-out nobleman.

And because of that. Deli also felt a little vague about Jenn's origins, and she suspected that the other party was likely to be some powerful. The heir to a reclusive force. Because Deli had seen a similar record in the book, and Jenn's move was also very consistent with this speculation. After all, ordinary down-and-out nobles may be able to rely on their own talents to cultivate to a certain level, but they cannot also have such powerful subordinates and treasures -- look at Cotton is not the best example.

If Jenn knew what was going on in Deli's head, he would have scoffed at it. It is true that space magic may be rare in the main plane, but you must know that almost all the magic in the Klein Continent was transmitted here from the demon world at the beginning of the genesis, and space magic is simply a natural skill like eating and drinking water for the high demons, even Jenn will open a dimensional hole or something. The value of a carriage with a mere space spell attached to it in the Demon Realm is no more than that.

At this moment, Jenn is telling Patilina, Lygia and the others the story of the Children of Thunder who once lived on the Eagle Plateau, which is from the beginning of the creation of the First Age. However, Jenn's narration still makes everyone feel as if they have returned to the crazy era when the gods came down and the demons danced, and the legends of the heroes in that mythical era when they could move mountains and rivers and fill the sea with their own power.

Even Dai Li listened with relish, and as a mage, her thirst for knowledge was innate. Although Jenn's story was about the age of mythology, Deli knew that he was telling more than just a story.

"Knock knock."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Jenn's speech. This made everyone stunned. Even Dai Li couldn't help frowning. They had just heard Jenn tell the story of how Ovgar, the son of thunder, defeated the Queen of the Storm and recaptured Kelly, the daughter of the stars, but it was a little unpleasant to see that they were about to reach the finale. And immediately after. Outside, the voice of a private soldier could be heard.

"Miss, that ............... We have something to report to you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Glancing at Jenn, who was smiling and silent, Dali gritted her teeth. He asked.

"Well, Lord Dobby said the storm was coming. Shall we find a place to take a break? ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Dai Li came back to her senses. She lifted the curtains and looked into the distance. Soon, Deli also saw the gloomy, tumbling clouds. Thunder slashed down from it, and howling winds blew through.

It is clear that a rainstorm is coming.

"Okay, find a safe place, let's wait for the rain to stop before leaving."

With Deli's order, the caravan immediately got busy, and the coachmen first drove the wagons into the nearby woods, and then formed a natural barrier around Jenn's carriage. Then the soldiers began to hurriedly spread the cloth on it. It didn't take long for the rain to pour down, accompanied by a violent thunderclap. Blowing in the wind, it struck the caravan.

The rain was heavy.

In the blink of an eye, it was already a blur outside, and the rain kept hitting the glass of the car window, and as far as the eye could see, you could only see the world shrouded in torrential rain. Fortunately, the carriage of the demon clan is not that kind of rag, so Jenn and the others are also sitting in it, and they have no intention of moving their positions at all.

"Cover me with a rainproof cloth and keep an eye on the surroundings!!"

Dobby touched the raindrops on his face and shouted for the soldiers to get ready. In fact, strictly speaking, in front of the great power of nature. There was very little that people could do, and even the soldiers did little other than protect their goods from getting wet. And hiding in the carriage to avoid the rain is something that only a few noble ladies are eligible to enjoy.

After the initial rainstorm, the rain gradually eased until it was confirmed that the horses were not lost and the goods were not wet. Dobby let out a sigh of relief, wiped the raindrops from his face, and turned his head to look at the carriage. I saw that the carriage, which looked luxurious and comfortable, was still standing in place, and even the two horses did not waver in the slightest, as if the roaring thunder just now was nothing to them. Not only that, but Dobby also saw that the girls in the cloak did not go to shelter from the rain like his men, but instead surrounded the carriage in three layers and three layers outside, looking like statues from a distance.

I really didn't expect these little girls to have such strong willpower.

Seeing this, Dobby shook his head. Judging from this point alone, the group of private soldiers under his command is really not as good as the other party, and I don't know where the kid named Jenn got these girls...............

And just as Dobby's mind was spinning around with the thought, suddenly, a low, almost inaudible roar entered his ears mixed with the rain.

And almost at this moment, Dobby's whole person trembled violently, and his right hand immediately grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. (To be continued......)
